Chicks Dig the Long Ball

Rios, Morneau, Vladamir Guerrero, Magglio Ordonez, Pujols, Ryan Howard, and Prince Fielder will compete tonight in the annual Home Run Derby on ESPN. It will be good to see some new faces in there this year, but I wish Bonds, Papi, and some others would have gotten in on the action. For all those gambling degenerates out there...the updated lines on BODOG.COM are as follows:

Prince Fielder - 3/1
Ryan Howard - 2/1
Justin Morneau - 6/1
VLAD - 6/1
Magglio Ordonez - 10/1
Albert Pujols - 7/2
Alex Rios - 12/1
Anonymous 10/1

If I were betting, I'd take a serious look at Morneau at 6/1 odds. I like the left handed hitters tonight in AT&T park. There are going to be so many goddamn kayaks and boats, that we may actually see someone drown in an attempt to snag a souvenir. Also, there is one open spot available for tonight's derby...should someone decide to take it. I feel bad for Alex Rios, because he has worse odds than a player to be named later...what a kick in the balls. But I'm opening up the debate as to which one of these beasts will be the Home Run Derby champion after tonight's show.
